N&NA has been working on this one-of-a-kind projec N&NA has been working on this one-of-a-kind project for months now. 450m² splitted in 7 rooms : 3 Control Rooms and 4 Tracking Rooms for MFF (Music For Freedom) @ Croix (North of France). More infos and details when time permits, we are very busy as you can imagine, just teasing you right now 😉 Pics : Isolation/HVAC/Cable ducts/sprinklers are currently being installed by contractors. More soon! Have a great day!

🇱🇷🇬🇧Waterfall Before vs After Acoustic 🇱🇷🇬🇧Waterfall Before vs After Acoustic treatment measured in the exact same conditions (same mic at same position, speaker at same volume etc), the only difference is the acoustic treatment...and what a difference!      Decay time is now very linear. No more ringing. Tight and defined response. As we like it.   Great built by client based on N&NA recommandations.   To be clear, what you see around 150Hz is the so-called 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦. Nothing to be worried about. Perfectly normal and expected.  What you see around 23Hz is the door which vibrates at that specific frequency.  I recommended to add mass in order to reach a lower resonant frequency and add damping material in order to reduce the decay (ringing time).   NB: door was not part of the acoustic study. Only acoustic treatment, not isolation/soundproofing here (space and budget constraints and not needed...even though I always recommend having the lowest NC).    Have a great day!        Jean-Pierre B. /N&NA      🇨🇵Waterfall "Avant vs Après" la mise en œuvre d'un traitement acoustique.    Les deux mesures ont été faites dans les mêmes conditions, la seule différence est le traitement...et quelle différence!        Comme vous pouvez le voir, le decay est maintenant linéaire.     Traitement entièrement réalisé en DIY par le client sur base de plans par N&NA.      Ce que vous voyez vers 150Hz est dû à l'effet du sol (rebond).

Hello! Following the last post, here is the result Hello! Following the last post, here is the result of a 613€, 2.2 system, with a set of 215€ speakers (Presonus Eris E5) and a pair of 199€ subs (Presonus Eris Sub8) in a well treated room (no DSP involved, like in any N&NA rooms, only acoustics treatment). Comparing a 7000€ set of speakers in an untreated room, and a 613€ set of speakers in a well treated room, I chose the well treated room ANY DAY! Of course the best is to use great speakers in a well treated room but...when budget is tight, choose the room over speakers. You can upgrade speakers later, but it's hard to upgrade a room, it's always more costly (time, money, energy etc). Notice the small dip around 150Hz, this is what we call the Floor Bounce...a good thing when you can see it clearly! Have a great day! Jean-Pierre B./N&NA 🇨🇵Faisant suite au dernier message, voici le résultat d'un système 2.2 à 613€ : 215€ pour les deux enceintes (Presonus Eris E5) et 199€ pour les subs (Presonus Eris Sub8) dans une pièce traitée (aucun traitement DSP n'a été utilisé, comme dans toutes les pièces N&NA). En comparant une paire d'enceintes à 7000€ dans une pièce non traitée, et un système 2.2 à 613€ (enceintes + deux subs) dans une pièce bien traitée, je choisis la pièce bien traitée, sans aucun doute! Remarquez le petit creux autour de 150Hz, c'est ce que l'on appelle le "floor bounce", une bonne chose quand il est aussi clairement visible! Bien sûr, le mieux est d'avoir une bonne paire d'enceintes dans une pièce bien traitée, mais quand le budget ne le permet pas...choisissez la pièce. Vous pouvez toujours faire évoluer vos enceintes, alors que faire évoluer une pièce est toujours plus coûteux (en temps, énergie et...en argent!).

Here is what a 7000€ pair of speakers looks like Here is what a 7000€ pair of speakers looks like in an untreated room. Not what you paid for, not what you expected, right? ΔdB measured = 25dB i.e. +/-12.5dB! Which means you have a difference of 25dB between the highest frequency and the lowest frequency measured at listening position. However these speakers are sold as ±1.5 dB (ΔdB=3dB) according to the company (measured in an anechoic room). And I trust the company. Not an untreated lying room. So, what can we say? It's not about the speakers only, but the room as well, and mostly. Together, they form a duo they can't be separated. Room's acoustics is between your speakers and your ears. The less a room is treated, the more you listen to the room, not the speakers.  The more a room is treated, the more you listen to the speakers delivering a neutral signal, which is a goal in any N&NA designs: get that semi-anechoic signal. When designing a room (from scratch or an existing room) there are two options : Design the room around the speakers, in-wall (flushed-mounted), the best option. We help clients to choose the right speakers for their given budget. It is important choosing the right and definitive speakers because the whole room will be designed around them and speakers (and subwoofers) will be flush-mounted...and you don't want to change your speakers and re-do the front wall, it's tricky, risky and costly!! Trust me, been there, done that! It must be long-term built. Second option : design a room which fits most speakers, on-wall design (speakers standing just in front of the front-wall). In this case, we make sure the acoustics treatment can deal with more low-ends for an eventual speakers/sub futur upgrade. This way you make sure you have a great room from the start. And can upgrade your monitors whenever the budget will permit it. It's the safest approach instead of putting all the money in pair of speakers. In both cases, get the room acoustics right or you won't benefit from your 7000€ speakers which won't sound any better than a 700€ in a proper designed room.  Have a great day!

NO DIFFUSION in SMALL ROOMS! Hello! I've been ask NO DIFFUSION in SMALL ROOMS! Hello! I've been asked this question a lot so here is a quick post regarding DIFFUSERS in Small Acoustics Spaces*. As simple as that : NO DIFFUSION in SMALL ROOMS. No PRD/QRD/1D/2D etc. DIFFUSION = COLORATION. Coloration is the opposite of a neutral critical listening space which a production room SHOULD BE (production, mix, mastering rooms). Neutral signal = direct signal = speaker to ears signal, not colored by the room/diffusion. "Listen to the music, not the room" Dr. Peter D'Antonio. Diffusion is just another way to absorb but with a pretty limited bandwidth. Under and above, diffusers don't do anything. Since bandwidth is mainly defined by the depth of the diffuser and you know you need to be a certain distance from diffusers...it can't work in a small acoustics space. Remember diffusers play on time/phase, in a small room, you are already not too far away from your rigid walls, so even closer to your diffusers! This depth should be used for bass trapping which diffusers can't do In small rooms, most of the problems are in bass frequencies range. Modern music required a very controlled bass room response. Of course, Blackbird C studio in Nashville is another story, another room, another volume, another budget...don't compare your room with this one. You can't apply what works in a big room in a small room. A room is designed by function. *When I say small I mean a typical room, around 30m2 (6mx5m)...which is already big for most users but not big from an acoustics point of view! Diffuse the word. Have a great week-end!
